Siemens Canada Makes $100k In-kind Contribution to Central Ontario’s Fleming College

Flemming College

Siemens’ $100,000 in-kind contribution will provide equipment, software and training for the Fleming College School of Trades and Technology. In recognition of Siemens’ support, Fleming College has renamed an area of the Instrumentation Lab, located on the mezzanine level, “The Learning Loft” which houses the majority of the donated equipment.

“Siemens Canada has been a long-time supporter of Fleming College,” says President Tony Tilly. “They have provided funds for bursaries and academic awards as well as supported several of our capital campaigns. We are honoured to call Siemens Canada a friend of Fleming.”

“Currently there are three programs that will benefit from the Learning Loft, training and support services provided by Siemens Canada – the Electrician Apprentice program, the Electrical Technician program and the Instrumentation and Control program,” says Dean of Trades and Technology, Maxine Mann. “That is approximately 200 students a year, so this is a really important gift contributing to the success of so many students.”

The products donated by Siemens are from the factory automation and process instrumentation product portfolios, which are widely used in the automotive, food and beverage, chemical, O&G and other process industries.

“For Canada to remain competitive and grow our manufacturing sector, we must nurture a skilled workforce and increase collaboration between industry and academics,” says Joris Myny, Senior Vice-President of Digital Factory and Process Drives, Siemens Canada. “With this in-kind donation, Fleming College now has the most innovative product portfolio to educate and train students so they have the advanced skills needed by Canadian industry.”
